Multi-objective Optimization of Stirling Heat Engine Using Gray Wolf Optimization Algorithm (TECHNICAL NOTE)

The use of meta-heuristic optimization methods have become quite generic in the past two decades. This paper provides a theoretical investigation to find optimum design parameters of the Stirling heat engines using a recently presented nature-inspired method namely the gray wolf optimization (GWO). This algorithm is utilized for the maximization of the output power/thermal efficiency as well as...

Performance Evaluation for a 100 W Stirling Engine

A small 100 W displacer-type Stirling engine, Ecoboy-SCM81 has being developed by a committee of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. The engine contains unique features, including an expansion cylinder which is heated by either combustion gas or direct solar energy. Also, a simple cooling system rejects heat from the working gas. A displacer piston has both heating and cooling inner tube...
